1 Sentence Structure Warm-Up/Pretest
What are the 3 things that you must have to have a complete sentence? What is a subject? What is a predicate? What is an dependent clause? What is an independent clause? What are FANBOYS? In these sentences, label the subject, predicate and any clauses: 7. Chris likes bologna and cheese. 8. Amere went to the soccer game, and he watched Maria play. 9. Maria kicked the ball, but she didn’t score a goal.

2 Parts of a Sentence 1. A subject, a predicate, and a complete thought. 2. Subject – the noun or pronoun that answers who or what the sentence is about. 3. Predicate – the verb of the sentence. What is the subject doing? 4. Dependent Clause – may contain a subject and a verb, but it does not express a complete thought. Usually starts with a subordinate conjunction (because, when, if, while…) 5. Independent Clause – expresses a complete thought and could stand alone as a complete sentence. 6. FANBOYS – For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So - Used to separate two independent clauses in a compound sentence

3 Sentence Types Simple sentence – One independent clause Ex. Melisa and Kayleen went to the mall. Compound sentence – two independent clauses separated by a , and FANBOYS or a semicolon ; Ex. Amere kicked the ball, and he scored a goal. OR Amere kicked the ball; he scored a goal. **Important – You must have TWO subjects and TWO predicates to have a compound sentence. ** Ex. Amere kicked the ball and scored a goal. = simple

4 Steps to identify sentence type:
Label the subject(s) and predicate(s). Circle any FANBOYS or semicolon. Check both sides of the FANBOYS or semicolon – Do you have TWO independent clauses? If so = compound *Remember – simple sentences can have FANBOYS. Ex. Melisa and Kayleen went to the mall. Circle any subordinate conjunctions. Is the subordinate conjunction part of a dependent clause with a subject and predicate? If so = complex If there are NO FANBOYS, semicolon, or subordinate conjunctions = simple sentence.
